Windows 10: USB device prevents windows from screensaver.

Hi guys, I have FIO Kunlun external USB DAC, and it prevents my screensavers to initialize. I have a lot of screens and it really hurts my electric bill can't think of a good solution... any ideas?

*Turn off sound card is a bad idea, because it will mess software what is using it etc

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

• Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
• Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
• Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
• Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.

 

USB Speaker prevent display sleep/screensaver

I have a pair of Klipsch R-15PM speaker connected to Windows 10 Education version (up to date), however, I noticed that it is preventing my display going to sleep. If i turn off the speakers, display will turn off at the set time/screensaver will come on
at the set time.

• I've been googling and made sure that running "powercfg -requests" doesn't show any processes using audio stream, in fact, nothing is showing there.
• I've also went into Device Manger, and make sure all the USB that has the Power Management properties have the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
• I went into Advanced Power options and Disabled USB selective suspend setting

I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this problem, when I fresh install this Windows, everything works fine, I believe it only shows up after downloading the Creator/Fall Creator's update. Here's a screenshot of the driver and my Device Manger.
